VOLGA explored short periods of EV (3 cycles) with duvalumab in muscle invasive bladder cancer #ESMO26 @NEJM. Results showed EVD was associated with better EFS + OS vs cystectomy alone (0.51 and 0.58 respectively). pCR 40-45% with ctDNA clearance rates of 60%. High rates of adjuvant IO therapy uptake and low rates of neuropathy suggest potential advantages of this approach which focuses the ADC in the neoadjuvant phase. It’s likely to be attractive for patients.
